The route
A short interstate haul: 324 miles, about 6 hours of driving. Long enough to be priced on weight, short enough that most carriers run it on a dedicated truck rather than pooling your goods with other shipments — a two-bedroom home typically runs $1,458 – $1,944. That means a tight delivery date and far less handling.

How many people move from Huntsville to Augusta
The Census Bureau's American Community Survey (2016–2020) estimates that about 19 people a year (±27) moved from Madison County, AL, home to Huntsville, to Richmond County, GA, home to Augusta. The margin of error is as large as the estimate, so read it as a handful of households rather than a count. Too few went the other way to estimate. Movers from Madison County make up 0.1% of the 16,147 people a year who moved into Richmond County from another county or state.
At state level, the 2024 survey counts about 15,804 people a year (±5,475) moving from Alabama to Georgia and about 15,194 people a year (±2,860) from Georgia to Alabama — a net gain for Georgia of about 610 people a year.

Before you book Huntsville to Augusta
Ask whether it is hourly or flat
At 324 miles some carriers still quote hourly plus mileage rather than by weight. Get both numbers so you can compare like with like — hourly can win on a short haul with easy access at both ends.
Confirm it is a one-day run
Most carriers cover this distance in a single day, which avoids an overnight charge and a second crew. If a quote assumes two days, ask why.
